Bite/chew marks on Sharry Baby's new growth?
 

I've noticed there are what look like little munch holes on one of my Sharry Baby's young pbulbs leaves. :(( What could do this? I've never had pest problems before. But since it's warmed up this spring I have noticed a lot of little gnat things flying around in my orchid windows and they're very annoying but I hadn't noticed any damage to any of my orchids until now. Could the gnats have done this? What should I do?

Fungus gnats would not do this damage. Have you seen any bush snails or caterpillars on the plant?

I agree. It looks like slug, snail or caterpillar.

Not gnats, but they are sure annoying. If you put a small glass/saucer of apple cider vinegar with a bit of water and a couple drops of dish soap you will capture a lot of gnats over night.

That's a good tip.

Agree, not the gnats...check if you have slugs..those are the vicious monsters I really hate, and they do that..it just gnawed recently on my Onc Dancing Lady spike grrrr!

Thanks everyone. I guess there could be a snail/slug creature in there. This plant was very root bound when I got it and I couldn't separate all the tight roots near the top without breaking them so I just wiggled out as much old medium as I could and potted up a size. Maybe there was something hiding in there. Should I re-repot and check for pests? The plant is finally showing new root growth in the pot and has 4-5 baby pbulbs so I'd hate to disturb it.

what about a natural and safe bug killer like bayer with neem oil in it smells ungodly but it should be safe for your plants, I know I use it on my babies and it keeps the bugs at bay and it should not hurt your pets if you have any.

If you haven't replace the media, I would. Both slugs and snails will hide in roots. The rounder the hole, the more likely it is a slug or snail. I have had grasshoppers and katydids chew on new growth but they tend to be more random (but equally or more distructive).
